    Ehh, I don't think it's a big deal. The water is probably fine and we only did a boil water notice at all because of regulatory requirements of TCEQ, not because any human expert looked at it and said, 'this water might not be safe.'

    Caveat, I am not at all remotely an expert in any of this. But, if we'd gotten microbes in the system because of low water pressure, the microbes would need some time to multiply to get to dangerous population level. I'm doubting the water could be dangerous in the first 12 hours after an event. I'm guessing the short time lag doesn't make a difference to the health of city residents.

    From what Mayor Turner said, this was not a grid issue. They had a transformer on city property fail, and they switched to another transformer which somehow also failed. It wasn't made all that clear to me, but the implication sounded like it was Houston's machinery that broke down, not CenterPoint's.
